The faces of nature range from pacifying to terrifying, all of which the Romantics explored. Yet what so often attracted them in nature was the aspects philosophers call the sublime: the wildness, immensity, terror, and awesome grandeur of natural phenomena like the Alps or violent storms.
To suddenly grasp nature’s power -whether just by seeing Niagara Falls or by living through a hurricane- is, while terrible, also exhilarating, even transporting.
When you read Ode to the West Wind, consider why people find such power (and fear) thrilling. What moves Percy Shelley so? Why would he shout to the wind, “Be thou me…!”
Have you ever experienced the sublime aspect of nature? When? Free write about the scene and your emotions.
Nature is everything to me, I think that God is the best artist of all times. Nature is the spirit of life, and it is also the joy of human beings. I think that the most amazing aspect of nature is its peacefulness, because when I am surrounded by nature I feel peace and hope at the same time.
The time when I have experienced the amazing aspect of nature is at the lake. I have a house in Atitlan, but it is not only a house. For me, it is the home of peace and nature in my life. Whenever I go there, I get to relax and to enjoy life with no preoccupations and no stress about unimportant and illogical things, such as homework or tests, which are no important in life. I believe that love is the only important thing that human beings must take into account at all times and one way of feeling love is appreciating the greatest love of all: the love of God. This love, this amazing and huge love, is found in God-s creation, and the brightest creation of all is the wind blowing through your hair and the sun shinning in your face.
The scene that I want to portray includes the sea, the sun, and the wind, all joined together creating an atmosphere of peace, love, and happiness. Whenever I am at the beach, alone, listening to peaceful music, and feeling the breeze in your face, I find that life has a meaning, and it is too short to be worried for stupid things: we must appreciate life and live it fully, and by fully I mean full of love and happiness.
